alpannonia circular route - in Peter Rosegger's footsteps
The alpannonia circular route in Peter Rosegger's footsteps starts in St. Kathrein am Hauenstein in Eastern Styria, where the poet's favorite church is also located.
The community of St. Kathrein am Hauenstein is known for Peter Rosegger - there is an exhibition about his life here, and the poet's favorite church is also located here. A section of the path also leads to where he went to Christmas mass with his family every year on Christmas Eve. From St. Kathrein am Hauenstein to the Ziesler Anger we follow the signs "Christmettenweg", to the Alpler Schanz the red alpannonia marking and on the way back to St. Kathrein am Hauenstein the "Christmettenrundweg" marking.

More information
We start the hike at the village square in St. Kathrein am Hauenstein and walk along the Hirchbach, via the Hochegger farm to the Ziesler Anger, just before the Lendrkeuz. From here we follow the red alpannonia marking of the main path to Alpler Schanz. Here we are following in the footsteps of long-distance hikers who hike along the alpannonia path from Fischbach to Köszeg. Shortly before we reach the main road, we turn right into a forest path in the last gravel bend of the path. We follow the hiking trail that runs parallel to the main road to the Gasthof Roseggerhof (+43 3173 2711). Past the Roseggerhof inn (to the right of the main road), a freight path begins just a few meters further downhill, which we follow to the parking lot of the cemetery in St. Kathrein am Hauenstein. From the parking lot it is possible to hike back to our starting point via the parish church (asphalted road to the right of the main road) directly into the village of St. Kathrein am Hauenstein.
